VELIZY-VILLACOUBLAY, France--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Dassault
Systèmes (Paris:DSY) (Euronext Paris: #13065, DSY.PA), the
3DEXPERIENCE Company, world leader in 3D design software, 3D Digital
Mock Up and Product Lifecycle Management (PLM) solutions, today
announced that it will showcase how the 3DEXPERIENCE platform is helping
industry, government and citizens worldwide to imagine, develop and
experience sustainable urban solutions at the World
Cities Summit in Singapore from July 10-14, 2016. The company’s
on-site experiences will include immersive, virtual reality universes
with the HTC Vive.

Industrial change is taking place at many levels with the emergence of
smart products, 3D printing and automation. These major trends will
impact the world economy and society, and converge in cities of the
future that will boast and connect intelligent systems. Given that
almost 60 percent of the world’s population already lives in urban
centers, innovations are essential to reconcile economic growth with
sustainable development.

In the context of this year’s theme, “Liveable & Sustainable Cities:
Innovative Cities of Opportunity,” Dassault Systèmes will enable World
Cities Summit visitors to experience the future of health and social
services, utilities, mobility, security and public safety, facilities
management and environmental planning in sustainable cities. Three
locations at the event will feature Dassault Systèmes’ 3DEXPERIENCE
City, including 3D virtual reality environments with the HTC Vive,
gaming, demonstration videos and discussions that inspire a
thought-provoking understanding of urban economic and social
opportunities.

In the city of Singapore’s official “Towards a Smart & Sustainable
Singapore” pavilion, visitors can discover how “Virtual Singapore”
integrates city data from sensors and systems in 3DEXPERIENCE City’s
collaborative environment to virtually represent and manage Singapore’s
data and processes. “Virtual Singapore” is championed by National
Research Foundation (NRF), the Singapore Land Authority (SLA) and
Infocomm Development Authority of Singapore (IDA), in collaboration with
Dassault Systèmes.

Dassault Systèmes’ invitation-only hospitality suite will virtually
transform into a penthouse with 360° city views. Here, guests can
participate in an interactive, immersive review of an urban master plan.
As four fictional city stakeholders—mayor, town planner, architect and
economic development manager—they can access and share 3DEXPERIENCE City
data in a virtual environment to collaborate on traffic, business
activity, public services and architecture.

At Dassault Systèmes’ booth, consumers can engage in fun and easy
3DEXPERIENCE City serious game and virtual reality experiences. These
demonstrate how urban solutions can begin at home and collectively
impact a city, by challenging players to improve their level of
sustainability while changing the virtual configuration of a Singapore
apartment.

“We are now entering an era of urban renaissance centered on quality of
life and economic efficiency. In this era, experiences are necessary to
open up new avenues for collaboration, discussion, planning and,
ultimately, sustainable living,” said Dominique Florack, President,
Research and Development, Dassault Systèmes. “The 3DEXPERIENCE platform
facilitates this on city official, business and individual levels: to
analyze and manage city resources and services, virtually simulate ‘what
if’ infrastructure and logistics scenarios, as well as to serve as an
information portal or a virtual marketplace.”

Dominique Florack will participate in the panel discussion “Building
Resilient Cities and Communities – Strengthening the Physical City,”
hosted by Henk W. J. Ovink, Special Envoy for International Water
Affairs for the Kingdom of the Netherlands, on July 12 from 9-10:30 a.m.

Dassault Systèmes’ hospitality suite will be located on Level 4 #4412,
and both its booth and “Virtual Singapore” on Level 5.
